Typical small winery in Ardèche.

Here is a picture of Dennis Manent, winemaker at a small local winery. Also the cement tanks he uses & the inside of the winery. Makes about 40,000 bottles per year. Says he has just as much trouble with government regs as I do!

He mentions inexperienced government experts trying to tell him how better to make wine. Ardeche is the region to the west of the Rhone Valley about 20 miles up into the foothills of the Central Masstif.
